Athens is the Center of all the Centers in the world. Athens is the city of the Olympic Idea, the birthplace of Democracy, the city of artists with the Parthenon in the Acropolis of all and for all. Athens is beautiful and always smiling. You can find the Athenian smile everywhere: in an ancient theater, in a modern exhibition hall, at a sports even, down by the sea, at concert, around the table in a small taverna, in a little alleyway, behind the mast of a sailboat or next to the column of an old temple.

  • Visualizing the Byzantine City the Art of Memory
    Abstracts Visualizing the Byzantine City Charalambos Bakirtzis Depictions of cities: in the icon “Allegory of Jerusalem on High,” two cities are depicted, one in the foothills and the other at the edge of a rocky mountain. The lengthy inscription of the icon is of interest from a town-planning and architectural standpoint. The imperial Christian city: in the mosaics of the Rotunda in Thessalonike, the city is not shown with walls, but with palaces and other splendid public buildings, declaring the emperor’s authority as the sole ruler and guarantor of the unity of the state and the well-being of cities, which was replaced by the authority of Christ. The appearance of the walled city: all the events shown in the mosaics (seventh century) of the basilica of St. Demetrios are taking place outside the walls of the city, probably beside the roads that lead to it. The city’s chora not only protected the city; it was also protected by it. A description of the city/kastron: John Kameniates lived through the capture of Thessalonike by the Arabs in the summer of 904. At the beginning of the narrative, he prefixes a lengthy description/encomium of Thessalonike. The means of approaching the place indicate that the way the city is described by Kameniates suits a visual description. Visualizing the Late Byzantine city: A. In an icon St. Demetrios is shown astride a horse. In the background, Thessalonike is depicted from above. A fitting comment on this depiction of Thessalonike is offered by John Staurakios because he renders the admiration called forth by the large Late Byzantine capitals in connection with the abandoned countryside.

    Entomologica, Bari, 31, (1997): 13-75 MARCELA SKUHRAVA 1 - VACLAV SKUHRAVY 2 Gall midges (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) of Greece ABSTRACT The present gall midge fauna comprises 167 species which were found at 67 localities in Greece during expeditions in 1994, 1995 and 1996. In the period 1880-1993 only 20 gall midge species were recorded from Greece; 149 are new records. An annotated list of gall midge species is given. It includes collection sites together with biological and zoogeographical data. The gall midge fauna is evaluated from the point of view of zoogeography and economic importance. From 2 to 21 species were found at individual localities. The average species number per locality determined from the whole territory of Greece (including Crete) is very low, only 9.3. 35 species were found in north-eastern, 78 in north-western and 80 in the middle part; 56 species in Peloponesos and 38 species in Crete. Horizontal occurrence: 52% species are very rare, 24% rare, 9% moderately frequent, 10% frequent and only 5% occur very frequently. Dasineura turionum causing galls on stems of Asparagus acutifolius is the most abundant species in Greece found at 30 localities. Vertical occurrence: the average number of species does not decrease significantly with increasing altitude. Gall midge species composition change significantly with changing plant communities from the coast near the sea level up to mountains following the altitudinal gradient. Of the Palaearctic species, 33% are European, 12% Euro-Siberian, 50% Mediterranean and sub- Mediterranean, and 5% are Holarctic species. Nine species occurred in the past as pests of cultiva- ted plants of which Odinadiplosis amygdali is a serious pest of almond and peach up to the pre- sent.

  • Bringing the Empire Home: Italian Fascism's Mediterranean Tour Of
    Bringing the Empire Home: Italian Fascism’s Mediterranean Tour of Rhodes Valerie McGuire In 1926, the acting administrative governor of the Italian Aegean islands crossed the threshold of a newly restored castle of Rhodes. A photograph of Mario Lago dressed in the garb of a medieval knight appeared on the cover of the March issue of the popular culture magazine L’illustrazione italiana.1 A local reporter for the Italian administration described the event as a “superb re-evocation of other times.”2 However, the governor’s masquerade as a Christian knight was clearly not meant to invoke the island’s past so much as its future, as a celebrated destination within the Italian overseas empire. Since the Italian capture of Rhodes during the 1911–12 war for Libya, the local administration had invested heavily into restoration projects on the island. Rhodes was not only a famous location from antiquity but was also a storied location of the medieval Mediterranean, when the Knights of St. John had occupied the island for two hundred years while attempting to re-conquer Jerusalem during the fourth crusade. The Italian state’s goals were twofold. On the one hand, it maintained that establishing a popular destination for resort tourism and well-to-do Italian and European travelers could help to offset the financial costs of the colonial project to “regenerate” the entire Aegean archipelago.3 On the other hand— and more importantly—by reconstructing and celebrating the island’s distant Mediterranean past, the Italian state imagined that its own history of diaspora, exploration, and maritime expansion in the Mediterranean could become the premise for a new empire in the East.

It is considered to be a Cretan-Venetian creation from the early fifteenth century. This article discusses the accounts of what has been written on this topic, and endeavors to bring field-changing evidence about its stylistic and iconographic aspects, the date, the artists who created it, the place it originally came from, and the person who had the idea of mounting an altarpiece. To do so, a comparative study on Byzantine and early-Renaissance painting is carried out, along with more attention paid to the history of Santo Stefano castle. As a result, it appears that the artist of the central panel comes from the Mystras painting school between 1360 and 1380, the author of the other six panels is Lorenzo Veneziano around 1360, and the altarpiece was not a single commission, but the mounting of panels coming from separate artworks. The officer Frà Domenico d’Alemagna, commander of Santo Stefano castle, had the idea of mounting different paintings into a seven-panel altarpiece between 1390 and 1410. The aim is to shed more light on a piece of art which stands as a witness from the twilight of the Middle Ages and the dawn of Renaissance; as a messenger from the Catholic and Orthodox pictorial traditions and collaboration; finally as a fosterer of the triple Byzantine, Gothic, Renaissance expression.

  • Educating the Whole Person? the Case of Athens College, 1940-1990
    Educating the whole person? The case of Athens College, 1940-1990 Polyanthi Giannakopoulou-Tsigkou Institute of Education, University of London A thesis submitted for the Degree of EdD September 2012 Abstract This thesis is a historical study of the growth and development of Athens College, a primary/secondary educational institution in Greece, during the period 1940-1990. Athens College, a private, non-profit institution, was founded in 1925 as a boys' school aiming to offer education for the whole person. The research explores critically the ways in which historical, political, socio-economic and cultural factors affected the evolution of Athens College during the period 1940-1990 and its impact on students' further studies and careers. This case study seeks to unfold aspects of education in a Greek school, and reach a better understanding of education and factors that affect it and interact with it. A mixed methods approach is used: document analysis, interviews with Athens College alumni and former teachers, analysis of student records providing data related to students' achievements, their family socio-economic 'origins' and their post-Athens College 'destinations'. The study focuses in particular on the learners at the School, and the kinds of learning that took place within this institution over half a century. Athens College, although under the control of a centralised educational system, has resisted the weaknesses of Greek schooling. Seeking to establish educational ideals associated with education of the whole person, excellence, meritocracy and equality of opportunity and embracing progressive curricula and pedagogies, it has been successful in taking its students towards university studies and careers.

  • PHILOSOPHY & HUMAN SCIENCE Plato's Paideia
    PHILOSOPHY & HUMAN SCIENCE Plato’s Paideia: A Model of Formative Education Thomas Marwa Monchena, ALCP/OSS Department of Philosophy Jordan University College Introduction This essay is a follow-up to a 2015 philosophy conference constituted largely by lecturers and doctoral students of philosophy from various universities in Rome. The faculty of philosophy of the Lateran Pontifical University organized the conference and entitled it, La filosofia come formazione dell’uomo (lit., Philosophy as a Formation of the Man ). I myself was present as a participant. In the course of this essay, I intend to offer a brief elaboration of some important elements of Plato’s theory of education which came up during the conference. Plato’s views on education appear in many of his dialogues; but in this paper, I limit myself to the educational system which Plato designed for the city as discussed in the Republic , with an emphasis on the formative and integral nature of the educational system found there. It is to be kept in mind that Plato’s system of education makes a commitment to the formation of the whole human being, in all aspects: intellectual, spiritual, social and physical. In the Republic , Plato illustrates his conviction that the nature of the good human life, i.e., true happiness, cannot be determined independently of the place that human beings occupy within society, and that the nature of a just society depends on the education of its citizens. Therefore, he sets forth paideia as an educational system that will educate, form, and train individuals 12 Africa Tomorrow 20/1-2 (June/December 2018) who can serve as a virtuous ruling class.

  • American Paideia: Public and Private Leadership and the Cultivation of Civic Virtue
    [Expositions 8.2 (2014) 131–154] Expositions (online) ISSN: 1747–5376 American Paideia: Public and Private Leadership and the Cultivation of Civic Virtue JORDAN BARKALOW Bridgewater State University Critics of statesmanship in democracy make three arguments. First, scholars claim that the idea of democratic statesmanship is, itself, is a contradiction.1 Reasoning that there is an inherent tension between popular rule grounded on equality and liberty and the political requirement of decisive action, these scholars hold that elected political officials should simply execute the will of the people. Benjamin Barber makes the most dramatic argument on this front claiming that statesmanship undermines democratic politics.2 He contends that in an age such as ours, it is possible, safer, more fulfilling, and more just to allow citizens to exercise political judgment. Thus, any need democracy may have had for a statesman has run its course. Building on this argument, second, democratic theorists contend that statesmanship actually destabilizes democracies as statesmen become a source of factional conflict.3 The concern here is not just that statesmanship undermines the goal of political stability, but that statesmanship will degenerate into tyranny. Consequently, statesmanship is not a feature of democracy, but an alternative to democracy. Instead of relying on statesmen, all that is needed is effective citizenship which can be achieved by freeing citizens from the restrictions imposed by statesmen. Finally, scholars argue that statesmanship is

    The Most Important and Urgent Environmental Problems in Greece in the Last Decade (2000-2010) Athanasios Valavanidis and Thomais Vlachogianni Department of Chemistry, University of Athens, University Campus Zografou, 15784 Athens, Greece ([email protected]) Abstract A comprehensive state of the Greek environment in the last decade is presented in this review as well as the most important and urgent environmental issues. Greece's major efforts in the last decades to achieve economic convergence with the other European Union countries and material prosperity for its citizens, resulted in the neglect of the environmental impact by tourism, construction, intensive agriculture, industrial development and rapid urbanization. Greece's environment faces some major environmental challenges, such as air emissions from transport and electricity power stations, overexploitation of its water resources, water pollution, degradation of its coastal zones, loss of biodiversity in terrestrial and marine ecosystems and increasing municipal and industrial waste. In the last decade major problems of management, funding and implementation of policies with strict environmental regulations have appeared in every aspect of environmental protection. Limited enforcement of environmental laws and practices and giving in to various demands of organized local interests has been the Achilles' heel of policy implementation. This situation resulted in the lack of clear strategies for the major environmental problems and the necessity for environmental reforms in many areas. Although funding and environmental taxes have been a major problem for Greece, corruption and malpractices by local authorities, private citizens and state institutions is another important issue. It is hoped that EU regulations and international obligations will force consultation and encouragement of public participation, as well as education and environmental information that will increase public awareness.

    Special Edition: 200th Anniversary of the Greek War of Independence 1821-2021 18 1821-2021 A publication of the Dean C. and Zoë S. Pappas Interdisciplinary March 2021 VOLUME 1 ISSUE NO. 3 Center for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies From the Director Dear Friends, On March 25, 1821, in the city of Kalamata in the southern Peloponnesos, the chieftains from the region of Mani convened the Messinian Senate of Kalamata to issue a revolutionary proclamation for “Liberty.” The commander Petrobey Mavromichalis then wrote the following appeal to the Americans: “Citizens of the United States of America!…Having formed the resolution to live or die for freedom, we are drawn toward you by a just sympathy; since it is in your land that Liberty has fixed her abode, and by you that she is prized as by our fathers.” He added, “It is for you, citizens of America, to crown this glory, in aiding us to purge Greece from the barbarians, who for four hundred years have polluted the soil.” The Greek revolutionaries understood themselves as part of a universal struggle for freedom. It is this universal struggle for freedom that the Pappas Center for Hellenic Studies and Stockton University raises up and celebrates on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the Greek Revolution in 1821.
